U.S. Rep. Kathy
Hochul released the following statement in recognition of the
anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks:

"Today as we
mark the passing of another year since the September 11 attacks in
2001, we honor those we lost on that day. We recall the innocent
victims taken too soon, the courage of the passengers who prevented
further tragedy, and those first responders, who in doing their jobs,
laid down their lives to protect their fellow Americans.

"What
grew from this tragedy was an all-encompassing spirit of patriotism,
bonding our nation together in common purpose to move our country
forward. Our endeavor today is to find that spirit once again. We
must recognize that so much more binds us than divides us, and as
Americans we are capable of solving the challenges of our time.

"In
the memory of all who were lost on 9/11, I call on each of us to
re-kindle the spirit of patriotism that brought us together in our
country's darkest hour."
